Cortex Nexus Collections

The AI workspace that runs on your machine. Multi-provider intelligence, collection-based planning, media generation, and an autonomous coordinator engine — all local, all yours.

01 / FEATURES
Multi-Provider AI

Eight providers. One interface.

Connect Claude, OpenAI, Groq, Mistral, Gemini, xAI, Perplexity, and Ollama. Bring your own API keys — CNC is never in the middle. Switch providers per conversation or let the Coordinator route automatically.

Collections

Work in collections, not conversations.

A Collection is a structured workspace — planning document, conversation history, task DAG, cost tracking, and SVN-backed version control. Sprint through a software build, a research project, or a business plan inside a single, organized environment.

Coordinator Engine

Autonomous task execution.

The Coordinator runs multi-step plans inside a collection — dispatching tasks to providers, monitoring output, bridging context between sessions, and surfacing status in real time. Sprint Runner executes structured build plans with audit logs and automatic error recovery.

Media Generation

Images, video, and audio — inline.

Generate images and video directly inside a conversation via WaveSpeed AI. Results appear inline, can be saved to the file explorer, and are tracked in your usage log. No separate app, no context switch.

Sovereign Browser

Cortex Window — browse privately.

A full browser viewport built into CNC. Ad and tracker blocking via a local Rust proxy layer. All traffic routes through CortexVPN when active. crnsearch delivers dual-lane results: internal {crtx} sources alongside DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, every result bracketed by origin.

Security Model

Token-gated. Feature-tiered. Never cloud-routed.

Every API endpoint requires a JWT token injected at app launch. Internal features — CRN diagnostics, variant status, training hooks — are compiled out of public and beta builds entirely. Not hidden. Not compiled in.

JWT auth on all endpoints Four build tiers (Internal / Internal-Test / Beta / Public) CRN hooks: internal tier only CORS locked to localhost + Tauri WebView SQLite WAL — local only
